Chiaroscuro: Finding Light in the Darkness of Caregiving. Reframing the Nature of Caring in Modern Society.

Timothy G. Ihrig, MD, MA; CEO of Ihrig MD & Associates

Join Dr. Ihrig as he shares about his experience being a caregiver, physician, friend, teacher, and eldest son caring for his mother and father. Through stories and personal anecdotes, Dr. Ihrig will address social and ethical questions our society faces today related to the growing aging population and systems meant to care for them, plus what it means to truly care for other people.

The Family Imprint

By: Nancy Borowick

Family Imprint tells the intimate story of my family, as my parents both underwent treatment for stage-four cancer at the same time. The story, however, is not about cancer or their deaths. This is a story about life, love, and loss through the lens of a first-time caregiver and daughter.
